Maintenance:
11
    VegCore data dictionary:
12
        Regularly, or whenever the VegCore data dictionary page
13
            (https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCore)
14
            is changed, regenerate mappings/VegCore.csv:
15
            make mappings/VegCore.htm-remake; make mappings/
16
            svn ci -m "mappings/VegCore.csv: Regenerated from wiki"
17
    Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
18
        any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
19
        server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
20
        is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
21
        to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
22
        Linux and Mac OS X.
23

    
24
Single datasource import:
25
    (Re)import and scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport_scrub
26
    (Re)import only: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport
27
    (Re)scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/rescrub
28
    Note that these commands also work if the datasource is not yet imported
29

    
30
Full database import:
31
    On local machine:
32
        make inputs/upload
33
        make test by_col=1
34
            See note under Testing below
35
    On vegbiendev:
36
    Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
37
    svn up
38
    For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
39
    Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
40
        The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
41
    Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
42
        make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
43
        To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
44
            export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
45
    Make sure there is at least 150GB of disk space on /: df -h
46
        The import schema is 100GB, and may use additional space for temp tables
47
        To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
48
            List backups/ to view older backups
49
            Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
50
            Remove these backups
51
    unset version
52
    Start column-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=1
53
        To use row-based import: . bin/import_all
54
        To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
55
        WARNING: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it creates
56
            won't be owned by your shell.
57
        Note that import_all will take several hours to import the NCBI backbone
58
            and TNRS names before returning control to the shell.
59
    Wait (overnight) for the import to finish
60
    On local machine: make inputs/download-logs
61
    In PostgreSQL:
62
        Check that the provider_count and source tables contain entries for all
63
            inputs
64
        Check that unscrubbed_taxondetermination_view returns no rows
65
        Check that there are taxondeterminations whose source_id is
66
            source_by_shortname('TNRS')
67
    tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
68
    In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
69
    For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
70
    If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
71
        make schemas/$version/uninstall
72
    Otherwise, continue
73
    make schemas/$version/publish
74
    unset version
75
    sudo backups/fix_perms
76
    make backups/upload
77
    On jupiter:
78
        cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
79
        For each newly-archived backup:
80
            make -s <backup>.md5/test
81
            Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
82
    On nimoy:
83
        cd /home/bien/svn/
84
        svn up
85
        export version=<version>
86
        make backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv/download
87
        make -s backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv.md5/test
88
        Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
89
        In the bien_web DB:
90
            Create the analytical_aggregate_<version> table using its schema
91
                in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
92
        env table=analytical_aggregate_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
93
            backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv
94
    If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
95
        Open inputs/import.stats.xls
96
        Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
97
        bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
98
        Update the import date in the upper-right corner
99
        bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
100
        Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
101
            row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
102
        If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
103
            until they do
104
        Commit: svn ci -m "inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated import times"
105
    To scrub unscrubbed taxondeterminations: make scrub by_col=1 &

Backups:
113
    Archived imports:
114
        Back up: make backups/<version>.backup &
115
            Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first:
116
                make schemas/rotate
117
        Test: make -s backups/<version>.backup/test &
118
        Restore: make backups/<version>.backup/restore &
119
        Remove: make backups/<version>.backup/remove
120
        Download: make backups/download
121
    TNRS cache:
122
        Back up: make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
123
        Restore:
124
            yes|make inputs/.TNRS/uninstall
125
            make backups/TNRS.backup/restore &
126
            yes|make schemas/public/reinstall
127
                Must come after TNRS restore to recreate tnrs_input_name view
128
    Full DB:
129
        Back up: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup &
130
        Test: make -s backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/test &
131

132
        Download: make backups/download
133
    Import logs:
134
        Download: make inputs/download-logs
135

    
136
Datasource setup:
137
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
138
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
139
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
140
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
141
    For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
142
        For .sql exports:
143
            Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
144
            Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
145
            mysql -p database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql
146
        mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
147
        cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
148
        Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
149
            For a .sql export, use your local MySQL DB
150
        Install the export according to Install the staging tables below
151
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
152
        For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
153
        For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
154
            name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
155
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
156
            name must end in ".src"
157
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
158
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
159
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
160
        If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
161
            Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
162
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
163
            together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
164
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
165
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
166
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
167
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
168
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
169
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
170
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
171
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
172
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
173
            that depend on it
174
    Install the staging tables:
175
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
176
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
177
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
178
            tail provides a header line with the filename
179
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
180
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
181
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
182
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
183
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
184
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
185
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
186
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
187
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
188
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
189
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
190
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
191
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
192
                Save
193
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
194
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
195
    Map each table's columns:
196
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
197
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
198
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
199
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
200
                left column of the core map
201
            Save
202
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
203
    Accept the test cases:
204
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
205
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
206
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
207
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
208
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
209
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
210
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
211
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
212
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
213
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
214
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
215
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
216
                the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
217
    Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
218

271
    Refactoring tips:
272
        To rename a table:
273
            In vegbien.sql, do the following:
274
                Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
275
                    This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
276
                Search for <new>
277
                Manually change back any replacements inside comments
278
        To rename a column:
279
            Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
280
            Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
281
                This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
282
    Creating a poster of the ERD:
283
        Determine the poster size:
284
            Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
285
                of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
286
            Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
287
            Zoom in as far as possible
288
            Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
289
            Measure the line height: 8.5mm
290
            Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
291
            Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
292
            Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
293
                0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
294
            Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
295
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
296
                0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
297
            The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
298
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
299
            The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
300
        Determine the cost:
301
            The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
302
                charges the following for posters:
303
                base: $7.25/sq ft
304
                lamination: $3/sq ft
305
                mounting on a board: $8/sq ft
306

        export log= n=2
310
    Mapping process: make test
311
        Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
312
            If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
313
            row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
314
            (the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
315
            This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
316
            a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
317
            the appropriate null value to use.
318
    Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
319
    Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
320
    Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all
321

    
322
Debugging:
323
    "Binary chop" debugging:
324
        (This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
325
        revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
326
        svn up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml
327

    
328
WinMerge setup:
329
    Install WinMerge from <http://winmerge.org/>
330
    Open WinMerge
331
    Go to Edit > Options and click Compare in the left sidebar
332
    Enable "Moved block detection", as described at
333
        <http://manual.winmerge.org/Configuration.html#d0e5892>.
334
    Set Whitespace to Ignore change, as described at
335
        <http://manual.winmerge.org/Configuration.html#d0e5758>.
